The Lament of the Bipolar
Saturday 10 January at 3pm, auditorium - level 0
Show by and starring Erwan Quesnel
Madness is right because reason is mad! Come and sit inside the head of a bipolar person for the duration of a show... A specialist in manic art, Erwan Quesnel recounts the story and logic behind his delusions: paranoia, megalomania, visual and auditory hallucinations. Part testimony, part coming-out, this show removes the taboo and stigma surrounding mental illness.
Directed by: Cédric Garoyan Music: Laurent Zoppis

Camus is Hip-Hop. Between misery and sunshine
Through a poetic and powerful creation, the Par-Allèles company brings Albert Camus' legacy to life in the world of hip-hop. A Frenchman born in Algeria and a committed writer, Camus left his mark on his era through his actions and words, denouncing all forms of inequality. Two hip-hop dancers take up Albert Camus's ideas for a protest-oriented and committed performance, combining dance and theatre.
